Tonearm Included

Whether a tonearm is supplied with the turntable in the stated product configuration.

A turntable can be sold with a fitted arm or as an armless deck intended for a separately selected tonearm. Support for an arm does not mean that the arm is included.

Tonearm Included — Turntable

For a Turntable, tonearm inclusion helps establish what is ready to assemble and what must be purchased separately. An included arm still does not establish whether a cartridge, headshell or other fitting is also supplied.

Check the exact model variant and package contents. A demonstration photograph may show an optional arm, and the same deck may be available both with and without one. A compatible armboard or mounting position is not itself a tonearm.

Compare the package with your intended system. An armless deck requires compatible mounting and setup. A fitted arm simplifies selection, while cartridge compatibility, adjustability and replacement options remain separate considerations.
